Filhos do Coração

Filhos do Coração

Thank you for all the donated miles.

The “Filhos do Coração” project seeks to denounce the practice of child slavery, rescuing and rehabilitating children who have fallen victim to this scourge. In Ghana, parents give up their own children for less than 30 Euros to traffickers who then resell them to the fishermen of Lake Volta. These children are forced to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, in exchange for a single plate of cassava. The rescue of these children is unpaid. How it works is by changing the attitudes of the people who enslave them, which can take months, with the goal of getting these children set free.
Till now, the Association together with the American Touch a Life Kids organisation has thus far rescued some 93 children, with 78 in their charge at a Shelter Home in Kumassi, Ghana.
